About  Redditch   

In 1855 the town finally became a parish in its own right and the Chapel in the centre of town was replaced by St.Stephen's Church. Industry thrived and diversified with the coming of spring making, fishing tackle and cycle manufacturers, and in 1894 Redditch Urban District Council was created allowing the town to be governed by its own local authority. By the early 1960's the population had risen to 32,000, then, in 1964, came New Town designation. Large new housing estates and industrial estates were built, the town centre was largely demolished and replaced with the Kingfisher Shopping Centre, new schools, road systems and extensive landscaping followed. The population rocketed to almost 80,000 and in 1974 the town was designated a Distrct Council. Today Redditch is a beautifully landscaped community, with excellent parks and recreational areas, a shopping centre that is one of the largest and most popular in the midlands, well laid out residential and industrial areas serviced by an efficient road system.
